Sunday market



Originally uploaded by m_hagen
Today we took the local bus out to Tarabuco for the market. It's a 2 hour ride through scenic countryside on a bus packed with other market goers. The closer we got to Tarabuco, the more tightly packed we got as the bus driver stopped to let on passengers.
The market itself is famous for it's local indigenous community in traditional dress. You can see a fantastic slide show of the market here, and more photos here. The costumes are so beautiful, and incredibly detailed.
